Basic information and history

The Ford F-250 of the 1972 model year belongs to the fifth generation of the F-Series, which was produced between 1967 and 1972. The 1972 model year was the last for this generation before the so-called Dentside body took over, and the late cars are considered by many to be the most refined of the series. Under the hood of this F-250 sits the 5.9-liter V8 from Ford's FE family, known in American terms as the 360 cubic inch, here stated to produce 147 hp. The power is transferred to the rear wheels via a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, a combination that made the F-250 a robust and easy-to-drive workhorse with good towing capacity.

This car is a single-cab version imported from the USA and is thus not originally sold in Sweden. The odometer reading is 100,000 kilometers, a figure the seller cannot guarantee. The car has had a total of six owners. The vehicle is sold by a dealer, there is no loan on the car, and no deductible VAT.

A curiosity in the car's history is that it was purchased by the TV show Wheeler Dealers, which planned to make an episode around this particular F-250. However, the production pulled out and the episode never materialized.

Summary

This is a US-imported Ford F-250 Single Cab of the 1972 model year with a 5.9-liter V8 and Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, from the final model year of the fifth-generation F-Series. The car has been repainted with some clear coat peeling, has received more modern front seats and a replaced gear lever, and is otherwise described as being in good condition in terms of body, interior, engine, transmission, and brakes. It is inspected and drivable as it stands, but lacks documented service history, and the seller advises a general inspection. With the connection to Wheeler Dealers as an extra bit of spice, this is a classic American pickup for anyone wanting a drivable F-250 to continue improving.
